Dear Parents/Carers,

Christmas Disco

Two of the Y1 parents will be organising a Christmas disco again this year. Due to limited resources this is currently planned for infants only, but if any parents would like to collaborate to extend it to the juniors please contact Laura Bradshaw Price (07792 282650) or Catherine Ruffles (07876 143832).

Newsletters by email

We are spending over £500 a year printing out Newletters.  We also find lots of Newsletters never find their way home as they end up on the playground or pavement.  In order to save money and the environment we would like to encourage parents to receive their weekly newsletter by email.  We will be able to spend the money saved on extra resources for your children to use in school (e.g. an extra 100 books for our library)!  If we have your email address we have therefore emailed you this week’s newsletter.  If you haven’t received a copy then it may be that we don’t have a correct email address for you, if this is the case the please fill in your details below. 

We will continue to print a few copies of the newsletter and will leave them in reception each week or if you still want to request a paper copy then please let us know by filling in the slip below and returning it to the school office.   Thank you.

Booking a place at Extended School Club

An increasing number of our Extended School Club sessions are now full.  Therefore we want to remind you that we cannot accept a child to an Extended School Club session if they have not booked in advance.  Booking forms can be collected from the office and should be returned as soon as possible. 

We are sometimes able to accept short notice bookings by phone but this will depend on spaces available and cannot be guaranteed.  For late bookings of morning sessions you must have confirmed if a space is available with Mrs Martin by the end of the previous day at the very latest.  For afternoon sessions please ring before 2pm on the day to see if there are any spaces available.  The more notice we have the more likely we will be able to find a space for your child.

If you know in advance that your child won’t be able to attend a pre-booked session then please let us know as soon as possible as this may free a space up for someone else’s child.  We will not charge you for sessions that are cancelled in advance but if your child doesn’t attend a pre-booked session and we are not informed then you will still be charged.

Reception 2016

The Additional Form for Reception 2016 will be available from the office on Monday 28th September. The closing date for applications is January 15th 2016. It is very important that if you apply online, you wait for online confirmation of your application.
